Lisbon Weekly Photo

The idea came up after visiting several “DailyPhoto” sites, particularly the one from Paris, which is my other favorite city. Since LisbonDailyPhoto was getting posts very irregularly, I decided to create this place. Although my skills and my Exilim Z110 are very limited, I hope to deserve your visit. Please leave your comments (any comments) so I can improve.

Igreja de Santo Condestável

The Santo Condestável Church, in Campo de Ourique, was dedicated do Dom Nuno Álvares Pereira (1360-1431). When, in search for the Portuguese independence, he won the Battle of Atoleiros against Spain, he was nominated Condestavel (Supreme Chief of the troops). The church was inaugurated 55 years ago (August 14th, 1951) and Almada Negreiros designed the vitrals, one of its attractions.

Curiously, I like the composition just as it is. i find these 'new' churches, like São joão deDeus, Pª de Londres, cold & showing too much of their epoch under Salazar, you know Estado Novo style?
Also, i prefer your natural white to my golden Basílica. Yes, itwas a 28, inevitably (could have been a 25 too!).
As for Porelini's remark about vida, e nomeadamente, pessoas, this is going into another domaine entirely. It's a good point, but individuals, desconhecidos, requires a lot of time & attitudeto habituarse. Não seja depressa, my adviceis fornow, concentrate on mastering the camera's capacities; we HAVE TO know our cameras well. And you haveto feel comfortable aboutwhat/who you shoot, andshootalwayswith confidence. The pictures should reflectwho you are as aperson. If you arenotreadyfordoing people, then fine, wait till you are! It's YOUR MOVIE!! And you aredoing very well sofar!

a composição está boa. menos um bocadinho de exposição (por causa do rebentamento nos sinos) ou tirada 45 minutos antes e estaria pmelhor, pareçe-me.
uma lente que distorçesse menos também era porreiro.
parabens.

Thank you all for your comments and tips.

Anonimo,
Compreendo o que queres dizer em relação aos sinos. A foto foi tirada às 11 da noite, o problema é que existem, para além dos normais cendeeiros, uns projectores exteriores (clarão do lado esquerdo da imagem) e outros dentro das torres do sinos extremamente potentes. Quanto à distorção, agora que falas nisso...

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that truck accident my life would be changed for all time. Unfortunately that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be in pain for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How bad was it? I has bedridden for 6 months, I had to have constant care and my medical bills went through the roof!

Thankfully, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this period to tell you more about what I have been going through.
